It’s that time of year, when the weather turns colder, the leaves change color and warm soup becomes a desirable thing.

Basic Ingredients

2-4 lbs of chicken thighs
Coconut Oil
2-3 inches of fresh ginger root (pealed and chopped, if you prefer to remove the ginger at the end cut the pieces larger for ease of removal)
5-10 garlic cloves (pealed and chopped)
8-9 cups of water
1-2 tsp peppercorns
1-2 bay leaves

Using a large pot or dutch oven saute ginger, garlic, and onions(optional) in coconut oil.

Add chicken thighs skin side down

Add 8-10 cups of water to pot, along with bay leaves, celery seeds, and peppercorns

Boil for 30-60 minutes until chicken is completely cooked. Since you are boiling, you don’t need to worry about over cooking the chicken.

Remove chicken. Discard the skin and bones. Shred the meat and add it back to pot.

Remove ginger if you don’t want to eat large pieces of it.

Add carrots, celery, and salt to taste.

Serving

Either serve the soup as is, or add some cooked rice or noodles to the bowl and ladle the soup over them. I prefer to add rice/noodles this way to avoid the rice/noodles becoming mush. This way every one gets the right noodle to soup ratio.

This recipe is very adaptable both in its initial cooking and when reheating to have a bowl.
